Spain and Portugal – The Wandering Mouse

Mediterranean to Manhattan: Spain & Portugal Transatlantic Escape

Oct 25 to Nov 8, 2026

Sail away on a spectacular 14-night journey that takes you from the cobblestoned streets of Rome to the iconic skylines of New York. Along the way, you will explore timeless treasures in Florence and Pisa, sip sangria in vibrant Barcelona, wander the seaside streets of Cartagena, and experience the old-world charm of Lisbon. The Azores offer a stunning mid-Atlantic oasis before you enjoy six days at sea, the perfect time to indulge in Odyssey of the Seas’ innovative dining, entertainment, and world-class amenities.

Pre Adventures in Rome are available to begin your journey early. Explore the Vatican, marvel at the Colosseum, and climb the Spanish Steps before you board the ship.

This itinerary also offers educational opportunities for children. History comes alive as they see the Vatican’s treasures, stand inside the mighty Colosseum, and lean into the wonder of Pisa’s iconic tower. Travel becomes the ultimate classroom.

Why We Love This Trip

Sea days are the secret gem of this sailing. They provide the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation. Work with a view of the ocean, then take breaks for onboard trivia, activities, or a coffee on deck. Meals, snacks, and drinks are available all day long, so there is no stress about planning food.

During your lunch break you can head to the spa for a massage, hit the gym, or sneak in a nap while everything else is cared for.

Traveling with kids? They will love the award-winning kids’ club, where they spend their days playing, learning, and making friends. With enriching ports of call, you also provide them with hands-on lessons in history, art, and culture that they will never forget.

This trip is truly a win-win. You work, rest, and play while crossing the Atlantic in style.
